Ash stares at Shadow in disbelief ,"how did you do that?!?I,ve seen old k walk out of shadows but I thought he was just sneaky !!"he takes a step back, frightened.
Old K steps next to Shadow ,"That is what we will explain to you now ..."
Shadow looks at Ash with a kind look in her eyes ,"Take my hand..."she reaches out to him.Ash takes her hand cautiously.
"Close you eyes,please?" she asks him, worried he's already too frightened.
He musters all of his courage and closes his eyes,"open them.." he hears her voice again.He opens his eyes to see a dark void with little light but just enough to see ,he stands in the middle of this void still holding shadows hand.
"What is this place?"Ash asks with a sense of wonderlust.
"This is the shadow realm ,a convenient place that is all too dangerous."She explains to him how there are multiple dimensions in detail ,she tell him about her childhood and about the shadow realm..."I have one final request..."says shadow
Ash's curiosity is drawn in"What is it shadow?"
she signals him to follow her,they float alongside one another inside the shadow realm for what seemed like hours ,maybe even days until Shadow comes to a stop."look at this..."she points to an orange rust in the far corner of the shadow realm.
"What is it?" asks Ash.
"That is the plague that consumes universes..."Shadow begins to tear up.
Ash notices it start to ge bigger."is it coming nearer?"He asks Shadow.
She looks over at it and screams "Shit!!"
She begins to chant and says "Ash ,help me !"
Ash wonders how he can help ,panicked he copies her movements and repeats the chant she did ,nothing happens and a shard of the orange plague hits his shoulder;his arm is probably broken.
Suddenly he screams in pain and 3 syllables appear in his head "for-te-dum!" he shouts and his arm is healed ,the words in him mind change sequence , now he shouts "te-for-dum!"and the rust is pushed back,he panicked and looks for Shadow.Shadow stares at him in amazement "how did you cast a 'te-for-dum'?"
Ash shrugs ,the words in his mind change again ,he whispers it "dum-te-for",4 massive explosions burn away vast amounts of orange rust ,exposing a blood red rust,shadow stares at it in disbelief "take my hand! "ash reaches out to her but is cut off by the blood red rust.the rust moves at insane and incomprehensible speeds ,2 sets of phrase appear in ashes mind one in red and the other in blue ;he chants the one in red first "chro-no-don"and the rust apears to moves much slower ,Ash tries to tune away but he cant seem to move at all ;he chants the 2nd line in blue"te-le-pum" and thinks about Shadow hoping shes still alive....
From ash's lips appear a blinding light and he wakes up in the hall laying next to shadow,he faints.
